1978 Porsche 911 Sc Targa 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Polk City, Iowa, United States
|
You are bidding on a hard to find non-running 1978 Porsche 911SC Targa. This is an excellent project car for the Porsche lover. The previous owner bought this car used in 1978 from Novak Porsche Audi in Omaha, Nebraska. At the time the car only had 2,038 miles. I do have the purchase agreement and odometer mileage statement from that purchase. I also have many maintenance records that came with the car. We have looked the car over and it seems complete. The body is in great condition for a 35 year old car that has sat for a long period of time. There is no rust and no damage to the body and the floors are very solid. The paint looks to be original except for an area on the left rear quarter that looks to be painted and some clear coming off. It is hard to tell that area has been painted though. The car would look great with just a buff and wax but it depends on how far of a restore job a person wants to do with it. The top is in great condition and can be reused but the inside liner of it needs redone. The glass is in great condition with cracks or chips. The wheels are in excellent condition. There is no damage what so ever and the center caps are just as clean. I don't think they need any reconditioning but they will need new tires on them because these are old. Mechanically the car is not running and we have not tried to get it running. The car has sat for many years so I'm sure the drivetrain needs to be rebuilt. It is a 3.0L 6-Cyl with a 5-spd manual transmission. A/C compressor is there but I do not know the condition as the car does not run. The interior is actually in decent condition. The dash has a small crack near the passenger defrost vent and the glove box needs repaired. The threads on the steering wheel cover are coming apart. The car panels and rear seats are in great shape and could probably just be cleaned up. The front seats are leather with plaid cloth inserts that need redone. The carpet should be replaced. The trunk has the original space saver spare. I do have a clean and clear title. Vehicle can be seen at: Nelson Automotive - 300 Sandpiper Ct., Polk City, IA. 50226 - (515) 984-9600 This vehicle will be sold AS-IS, NO WARRANTY. This is a 35 year old car and even though we have presented this car to the best of our knowledge something could have been missed.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
